World.


"Do you expect to win in your dress re-
form movement" was asked Of Mrs. Annie
Jenness- Miller, 19 E. 14th ST., New York,
editor of Dress.

"Why do you object to she present

"Doladies generally supper t the reform?''
eyes, very generally. My correspond
ence is very heavy. Next to Mrs. Cleve-
lands mine is said to be the largest daily
mail of any woman's in the United States,
and from not only every State in the Union
but from almost every country of Europe"
us the magazine, Dress, succeeding g"
every handsomely, indeed Dress, has
been published less than yesr, and I am
gratifed with reports from all over the
world of the acceptance by ladies in the
very highest rank, of the refnFm which
Dress advocates"
Mrs Miller is a comely woman ia appear
ance, and is very enthusiastic in Fer dress
reform agitation. AS the New YORK. Graphic
says: "She herself is young and attractive,
with a figure so harmoniOusly developed as
to suggest strength, power and beauty"
The reform which she is urging with so
much eloquence and grace seems to be the
coming one. Mrs. Jenness-Miller has the
| advantage of high social position, being of
the same family Of the late Wendell Phil
! lips, and the poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
1T is in the fashionable world, of course,
where all the styles are determined, and
where The change mast begjn," she says.
| GLOW do you endure so much work and
| keep so Well!o
! Il dress myself according to my own
| ideas, and furthermore, | give myself the
best of care and treatment Six years ago,
was nearly exhausted from my work of
| lecturing, writing, etc"
'Tndeed, you do not look like it nowr'
''Nos l am not now. L am now per-
fectly well woman and intend to remain so.
You see [ understand the laws Of life too
well to be, or remain i'll, but strange as it
may seem for one to say who is opposed to
medicines on general principles, If | find
myself tired or feeling i'll fly to the one
single remedy which ! do endorse and that
is Warmers safe cure, which gives new en-
ergy and vitality to all my powers. It is in
deed what sometimes call my stand by'
have many opportunities to recommend it
and embrace them gladly, because l know
that it is thoroughly reliable and for women
especially effective. Indeed, | often find my
self recommending it to my friends as
warmly as l do my magazine, or indeed my
improved garments, and this | would not do
did not personally know OF its VirtueS''
Mrs. Miller insists thatall women can and
must be beautiful, and will be SO ii they
follow her style Of dress and self treatment.
"Wil you not state, briefly, in just what
your reform cOnSists!"
''Oh, with pleasurel [ propose q Jersey
fitting garment to be worn next to the body,
making of woman a vision Of loveliness!
III. "Over this put a cotton or linen gar
ment, of one piece, without bands or bind
ing covering the entire body also.
Ill. 'In place of the petticoats, propose
one complete body covering garment called
'leglettes.'
". 1--WE abandon the corset entirely as
totally unfit for use, in its common form,
and we substitute therefor supple sup
side gown as beautiful as artistic skill and
common sense can design"
Mrs Miller's words Of counsel, which
every woman should heed, will undoubted-
" give to the women Of America some new
ideas upon subject SO very near to each Of
them.
